Bishop Sankey, RB, Washington

Titans, Round 2. Was a junior. I expected him to go a little later than he did – in Round 3 – but I wasn’t far off, and it was probably about where most analysts thought he deserved to go. But … Continue reading

De’Anthony Thomas, RB/KR, Oregon

Brock Jensen, QB, North Dakota State: FCS Division

UDFA. Signed by Dolphins as UDFA but released in August. Has enough athleticism, poise, experience, and passing ability to find a spot in the NFL as a backup. The comparably lower level of competition in the FCS means he may have … Continue reading

Positives: Throws with adequate arm strength and velocity. Adequate accuracy on short passes. Above-average accuracy on rollouts, and he keeps his eyes downfield on the run. Decision making improved by his senior season. Nice play fakes. Runs with above-average speed … Continue reading
